... what?

Tipping was something that the patricians/bourgie upper class did to help uplift the waiters/service staff in Europe. It caught on in the USA in the late 1800s and fell out of favor from that upper class in Europe by then.

Largely, USA coopted a "noble gesture" from wealthy Europeans and it has persisted ever since for like a century.

Anyways, I hate tipping as well.

What did you do as an enlisted guy?
Wasnt this attack triggered by scattering payloaded USBs around the facility, and someone plugged it in? lol

Thanks for the free private repos. Thats what sold me on moving from GitHub to Gitlab.

Also, I dont like GitHub's political posturing nonsense, so thats a major reason too.

This is a good example. Im in my mid twenties and just discovered yesterday that (at least on Windows 10) that a user and a computer have _entirely_ different permissions.

I always thought it was account based! At least thats what my coworker and IT guy explained it to me as.

Basic programming tasks amaze HN nowadays

In my final semester at Uni I applied for jobs, and for half my second semester I worked a flexible 15 to 30 hours a week and still finished with all As.

Thanks for your benevolence.

Basically you stated that there are entrepreneurs and then also people who just wanna put bread on the table, just like any other discipline.

There are two types of hair dressers: ones that open their own shop (startup), and others that join existing shops (corporate)

You realize Kim Jong Un wants nukes so he doesnt get the same treatment as Saddam and Ghadaffi right?

Its just a self deterrent.

I wonder if the cards found were inspired by the novel
I like manual windows but also automatic windows in cars.

I still can't really fathom starting a car if I dont turn the key manually... I guess its like you say, silly until you use it

Re:An Open Letter to the FCC on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @02:06PM (#15759497)
The FCC has effectively ignored the rules and stalled their way to victory.

Nawh, they are following the power delegation given to them by congress. They dont have to do fuck all for public comments, other then recieve them, document them, and say "we got feedback but fuck yall we going forward"

Re:An Open Letter to the FCC on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @02:05PM (#15759486)
Ok, so you lose your job due to your commission expiring, or you get replaced by a new administration.

but you cant be a lobbyist

so what do you work for? other goverment jobs, or back to the private sector.

what if we had a google exec become some internet government position, then went back to google? would there be this public outcry?

However, being from Verizon is noticeable.

85. Need for the No Paid Prioritization Rule. The Commission concluded in the Title II Order that “fast lanes” or “paid prioritization” practices “harm consumers, competition, and innovation, as well as create disincentives to promote broadband deployment.”189 The Commission adopted this ex ante flat ban on individual negotiations to address an apparently nonexistent problem. The ban on paid prioritization did not exist prior to the Title II Order and even then the record evidence confirmed that no such rule was needed since several large Internet service providers made it clear that that they did not engage in paid prioritization190 and had no plans to do so.191 We seek comment on the continued need for such a rule and our authority to retain it.

ex ante: based on forecasts rather than actual results.

Its taking away title 2, not enforcing draconian content policing like PIPA and SOPA
